In December 2014, the Minister for Education and Training, the Hon Christopher Pyne MP, and the Prime Minister, the Hon Tony Abbott MP, agreed to combine the functions of the Higher Education Standards Panel (the Panel) and the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) Advisory Council. This delivers on the Government’s commitment to smaller government while continuing to enhance the quality of higher education. The Minister thanked the outgoing members of the Higher Education Standards Panel for their valuable work during their three year appointments. Membership of the Panel from December 2014 remains consistent with the former TEQSA Advisory Council.

Panel Membership

On 17 February 2015, the Minister for Education and Training announced the new Chair and members for the Higher Education Standards Panel. The former TEQSA Advisory Council was established on 22 April 2014 and met five times in 2014-15.
